Quick update! My food project is going well so far. Well in that I have not yet thrown in the towel that is. I am about 2 months in and still have not repeated a meal. In fact, the difficulty is not the limitation on dinner choice, as that is all prepared beforehand, but the…

It is important to experiment in order to improve oneself and the kitchen is my favourite place to do so. This week I have tried a few new recipes and added to my personal cookbook, which now has 130 pages of writing, some of which have several recipes on them. When I can, I will…

As part of my collected works on getting more organised, I wanted to share the shopping list style that I have gradually developed since I’ve been living independently and organising the food shop. It’s a small difference to make but I’ve found it speeds up the food shop and saves us money too. My other…

As you may be aware, we have had a vegetarian living with us for the past 5 weeks while he did some work experience with my other half. I was determined to provide a variety of healthy meals with as little as possible in the way of meat substitutes like Quorn. I’ve explained before that…

You would be the world’s most annoying superhero. ‘Suddenly Amazing at Everything Girl’ just would not sell well. This makes me feel…

It’s a curious idea, that for a posh afternoon tea we revert back to children and demand cucumber sandwiches, with the crusts cut off no less, and we want to eat with our hands in a posh restaurant. Aren’t knives and forks the tools of adults, or chopsticks depending on the cuisine? (Although my other…

Is a complete misnomer. I never really drink enough before dinner to achieve a real ‘drunk kitchen’, especially because I’m clumsy at the best of times and would not trust myself around a gas cooker. I’d probably set myself on fire, then the cats, the house and the garden as I ran around in a…
